why do U.S. politicians not have facial hair?

[med_breeder]

I'm sure there are mayors of small towns with facial hair, but to the best of my knowledge there are no Govs, or senators that have facial hair.
Why do you suspect it is hard for a breaded man to be elected in the United States of America?



peace.

Well there was a politician with a beard who ran for Senator and lost. But he did get elected as President. He is a pretty popular one too, they even put him on the penny!

 

[Steaks]

haha, ya know i never really thought of that. But i dont even think any of my states legislators have facial hair.....

 

[med_breeder]

daisy,
Ha!
I meant in recent times.
I know honest Abe, Garfield,hayes,cleveland, taft etc... had facial hair
since Taft left office in 1913 we have never had a president with facial hair.
I just don't get it.

Because, for some reason, people don't respect a man that looks like this nowadays:


Also, men do not wear hats like the used to. I don't even really like the way a baseball cap feels, I would like a nice bowler or derby.

 

[daisy jane]

Well you gotta specify or people like me will come in and post sarcastic responses. Hahah, it's all in good nature though. I'm sure someone will come up with a bearded politician eventually

some people say people with facial hair have something to hide

because of television. possible the worst/best invention of our era.

politics is no longer based on actual politics.. its all appearences and photo ops..

the first televised debate was between kennedy and nixon, people at the debate thought nixon did the better job, but damn it, america loves a pretty face.

example- fucking ronald reagan, jesse ventura, arnold... they all know how to work the camera (although bush is an exception. i dont understand how a bumbling jackass who can't think/speak straight was elected. oh yeah, he cheated.)

I guess they see it as if they can't grow a beard long enough to hide all of their secrets they might as well not grow one at all!

chong for president

I think i would trust someone with facial hair more than without..

my facial hair hides a scar that I got from walking thru a freshly cleaned plate glass window in a Honda cars showroom......

....a friend asked me if I would do him a favour and pick up a service agreement for him on his car.......I was in a hurry and a little stoned........I picked up the agreement and turned to go out.....was a sunny day with sunshine blinding me temporarily as I walked at a brisk pace right thru the big main window of the place........suddenly I was leaking blood from all sorts of cuts on my face and arms.........

......as for American Presidents.......I guess that facial topiary is not in vogue amongst politicians like it used to be.....

I believe Corzine from NJ has facial hair. He was also a senator from the same state. He's the only one that comes to mind. I guess people think politicans have enough to hide as it is so they want the politicans clean shaven.

 

[Guest]

Facial Hair would tickle the ass they kiss.

 

[treble]

^hehe WWM so very true....

yeah they tell you people with beards are hiding something... of course now-a-days bearded people look like terry wrists don't they?

to me bearded people are usually more thoughtful people....considerate

[med_breeder]

oh yeah, I knew about corzine from new jersey.
I just figured that he grew that beard while he was in the hospital recovering from his car accident.

No I don't. Besides, what's it to you?

 

[NserUame]

It is because we have become FEMINIZED!! It is a sad state of affairs, but it is a reality that most men want to be more feminine, and most women want to be more masculine. I think that we would have as good a chance of Hillary Clinton growing a beard as any of the so called men running. After all she already has bigger balls than most of them........

I dunno, anyone who survives a vietcong prison camp has to have some pretty big cajones, assuming they didn't snip them off.

Either way I gotta agree with you. Not to knock the women, but damn did you turn the tables fast. Thousands of years of oppresion and then bam, you made us your bitch.

No more beards (they tickle).
No more saturday night poker games (Desperate Housewives is on).
The WNBA has a better free throw percentage than the NBA.
The list goes on.


Damnit it's time we take something back. We're starting with facial hair and then we get rid of reality tv.

Hey Now, I don't think they have balls either. must be a testostrone deficentcy.Maybe some lime & epson salts might help.
